Since entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of Oklahoma State in the 2022 NFL Draft, running back Jaylen Warren has quickly become a key member of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense.
When the Steelers first signed him, he was largely an afterthought as a guy who could potentially be a practice squad player. But once the pads came on in training camp in the summer of 2022, Warren made his mark—literally and figuratively—on the Steelers, earning a roster spot.
He wasn’t done at just a roster spot, though, developing into a very solid RB2 in his rookie season behind Najee Harris and then pushing Harris last season as a legitimate 1A to Harris in the backfield as the two split reps.
